Tears slide down, screaming loudly
Yet all that is heard is silence
Please… Anyone…
See beyond the smile,
Listen beyond the silence.
You’ve got to stay strong
Smile… It’s gonna be ok
Move on… They weren’t worth it
You are strong, they say.
But still…
In the darkest of nights
When the demons freely roam
Laboured breaths, shaking limbs
A cry torn from a broken soul
A soul hurting and aching…
From broken promises
From unfulfilled dreams
From disappointments and let downs
From the pain and suffering, that is the cost to be paid for living
But when the sun rises,
Pull it together and lock the box
Put on a smile and a kind word for everyone
Face a new day… Like nothing is wrong
While inside,
A soul quietly shatters
